CHARLES POOL AND MOSES EDDY, OF BLISSFIELD, MICHIGAN.

. IMPROVEMENT IN ClDER-MILLS..

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 50,158., dated September 26, 1865.

To all whom it 'may concern.-

Be it known that wc, CHARLES POOL and MOSES EDDY, of Blissn'eld, in the county of Lenawee and State of Michigan, have invented a new and improved Vine and Cider Mill; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section of ourinvention,takenin thelinexx,Fig.2; Fig.2, a transverse vertical section of the same, taken in the line y y, Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention consists in the employment or use ot an endless conveying-band in connection with a pressure-band and a rotating perforated cylinder encompassed by a screen, the above parts being used with a toothed cylinder and concave, and all arranged as hereinafter set forth, whereby thefruit may be crushed or reduced to a proper state and the juice expressed from it and strained from allimpurities.

A represents a case which contains the workin g parts ofthe device. B is atoothed cylinder placed in the upper part of said case directly opposite a concave, Gr, a hopper, D, being above the cylinder and concave, as shown in Fig. l.

E is an endless band which passes around a small cylinder, F, and around a large cylinder, Gr, the latter being perforated, as shown at a, and encompassed byawire screen, b,the bandE being in contact with the screen.

H represents a pressure-band which passes around two rollers, l I, and bears upon the band E above the perforated cylinder G, as shown clearly in Fig. l.

J is a spout which is attached to one side of the case and extends within the cylinder G and projects out through one side of the case A. Within this cylinder G there is a head, c, which is at the inner end of a conical tlan ge, d, which Vprojects within the cylinder. The spout J extends within the cylinder to this head, as shown in Fig. 2.

Kis a scraper which bears against the band E at its descending side.

Thefruit to be operated upon is placed within the hopper D, and passes down and is crushed between the toothed cylinder B and concave C, and drops upon the band E, by which it is conveyed continuously to the band H, between which and the band E it is compressed and deprived of j uice,the latter passing through band E, the screen d, and the perforationsa in the cylinder G, and into spout J, from which it passes into any spout prepared to receive it. The juice is strained thoroughly by the band E and screen b, no pomace being allowed to pass into the cylinder with the juice. rihe pomace is scraped oif from the band E by the scraper K.

The device is extremely simple and ecicnt, and may be constructed at a moderate cost,and

the work of crushing or grating the fruit andl expressing the juice therefrom is performed at one operation. We claim- The perforated cylinder G, encompassed by the screen b, in connection with the endless conveying-band E, the pressure-band H, and

any suitable grating or crushing device, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

` The above specification, of our invention signed by us this lZth day ofJune, A. D. 1865.
